King Triton is from the In The Grotto Collection and is a scattered holographic shimmer in a sky blue frost base. Three thin coats.  It is quite bright on the nail. This one is priced at $10 for a full-sized 15ml bottle.

Kintsukuroi is one of my favorite Carpe Noctems of all time and has a special place in my heart. This polish is named for a Japanese technique that uses gold powder in resin on repairs to pottery. I lived in Japan as a child and have many fond memories of visiting temples and on one special occassion, the Golden Pavilion in Kyoto. This polish absolutely brings the gold I remember in Japan to life. Linear holographic shimmer in a gold foil base.  Four thin coats. It can also be worn as a topper in fewer coats. This is $7 for a 12ml bottle and $10 for a 15mls.

Literary Lady is one of the brand's classic complex color-shifting shimmer holos - so beautiful. The shift goes from cool to warm. Linear holographic and pink-to-gold duochrome shimmer in a metallic copper frost base. Three thin coats. This one is available in a 12 ml bottle for $7 and a 15ml bottle for $10.

Moss Agate is a scattered holographic shimmer in a sheer acid green jelly base. I am a huge fan of Emily's scattered holos as they have fantastic formulas and dry super-shiny. Four thin coats. It costs $5 for 12 ml and $7 for 15ml.

Paint Uranus Pink is a great color for pink lovers - it seems to shift between a cool and warm pink and has almost blue tones to it. Perfect formula. Linear holographic shimmer in a deep cerise shimmer base. Four thin coats. $7 for 12ml, $10 for 15ml.

Passionately Purple is a linear holographic shimmer in a light pastel purple shimmer base with pale blue highlights. Four thin coats. This one dries somewhat slower than the others and I recommend thin coats to prevent bubbling. $7 for 12ml, $10 for 15ml.

Do you see any you want to try here? Obviously Kintsukuroi is my fave!
